Optimized

     if f() and g():
         spam()

is equivalent to

     result = f()
     if bool(result):
         result = g()
         if bool(result):
             spam()

Without optimization it would be equivalent to

     result = f()
     if bool(result):
         result = g()
     if bool(result):
         spam()

It calls bool() for the result of f() twice if it is false.

Thus there is a small difference between

     if f() and g():
         spam()

and

     tmp = f() and g()
     if tmp:
         spam()
